This is so ridiculous I thought it must be a joke. Obviously solving BG's problems is not a priority for ministers, but lining their own pockets and those of their friends and family is. First Super Borovets, now golf!

Has this really been thought out? I suppose the Bulgarian Government sees the big profits in golf courses in other countries. However, do Bulgarians really want the countryside ripped up to make a golf course which, incidently, will be only for the rich?
Think about all the wild life that will be disrupted. Also the courses will take land, beautiful countryside which everybody can enjoy and walk on, to become totally exclusive to those who can afford to play golf. Yes, a few local traders and hotels may benefit but at a great loss to the public at large.
I had a foreign visitor here last year who looked at the most beautiful sweep of countryside I have ever seen and said "wouldn't it make a great golf course?". God forbid!

tricia and CJB.

Let me get this straight!

You both do not golf so you say "wouldn't it make a great golf course?". God forbid"
and "First Super Borovets, now golf!"
I do not have any small children so I (in the same logic) think it is very stupid to make a park and place to walk with children!
Golf is for the "rich"! Is 13 lv too much for a round and afternoon of fun?
That is what I pay on a course outside my back door.

I love the "NO, NO, NO! that always occurs when someone has an idea to attract some tourist money and it does not conform to your ideas of what is right or wrong. Who is going to plan their vacation around looking at a tree? I might just do just that (visit a tree) and will never golf in BG, but I would never tell someone else what is wrong or right when it comes to doing something different.

Progress is not a "dirty ' word!
